Well, I'm on my ROG Ally at the moment because of Game Pass, but I just finished up Cocoon. Can't recommend it enough. If it has a story, I couldn't tell you what it is, but as a puzzle game, it's fantastic. I think it strikes that balance where you feel smart without it being frustrating. Portal does that too. This was my favorite puzzle game of the year, easily.
This makes me want to give cocoon a try.
I’m sure I would love the rog ally, and like a dolt I paid for the 512gb Steam deck.
Ultimately though, the deck does everything I want. I don’t care for Windows so I’m happy it runs on Linux. I love the trackpads.
Still though, I’ve seen the videos that compare performance and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t love the boost. I’m not sad about my choice, but I wish I had enough money to rock both of them.
Exciting times for handheld gaming, that’s for sure.
